Really good family. You know, he tells the story...our jr B team was the Sarnia Bees (hence now jr team is the "Sting"). His dad used to fish broken sticks from the dumpster after Bees games and cut them to size for Dino. Hard luck story? No. Everyone did that. You're like Dino for taking your house garbage out naked in Minnesota?lol Too funny, he was charged with indecent exposure. Stupid Italians. He thought no one would see in the early morn. Not that he was horny. Silly episode. We pulled our pants down pretending hockey and said, "Ciccarelli, breakaway". He laughed his Hash Rate off. He's my oldest brother and brother-in-law's age. My bro-in-law played on the same teams as a scorer but broke his leg. All of them are fun. Dino's a good guy. Bought the Sting for Sarnia. Hockey is more than making the NHL. Too many obsessed parents is painful. I literally wanna punch them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 A little bit of love for the Heat. 1st in points% in the league. Top goalie in AHL - #1 in wins and SAA% Top PK in league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 The Heat currently lead the league in win% with a gaudy 76%. 5 points away from clinching the playoffs. They lead the league in home and away win %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Heat win last night to break their single season record for wins. They keep chugging along, getting valuable experience for the young players. Pelletier and Phillips lead the team with 48 and 50 points. Pelletier has taken over goal leader with 22 on the season. Philp has 18. Tuulola and Pettersen seem to be finding their scoring touch lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Both Wolf and Pelletier named to AHL all rookie team. Nice honor for both of them and pretty well deserved. Rookie or not, they've both been near the top of their position this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I hope we can keep Wolf simmering down in Stockton without any adverse results. Pelletier may be ready, but I'm not so sure how you find a fit for him. Can't have too many small players on the team while still trying to play big boy hockey.

cross16 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Mitch Love named coach of the year in the AHL. Looked like a pretty astute hire when they did it and seems to be playing out that way. Very real chance the Flames organization will have the coach of the year in both the NHL and AHL at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Wow. That's impressive. If he was a NAS prospect, he would be playing Game 2 for them. We are set for a few years, I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Goalie of the year as a rookie would feel rare to me. Wonder if that's been done before? What a resume he has already. This is now the 3rd year in a row Wolf has won top goalie in the league he was in. He was back to back winner in the WHL and now the AHL so 3 straight years in a row. That's incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to look it up WOLF NAMED AHL GOALTENDER OF THE YEAR (caravannews.com) but 10 times before Quote The Calgary Flames’ seventh-round selection (214th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft is the 10th rookie ever to win the award, given annually since the 1983-84 season, joining Jon Casey (1984-85), Jean-Claude Bergeron (1989-90), Felix Potvin (1991-92), Corey Hirsch (1992-93), Jim Carey (1994-95), Martin Prusek (2001-02), Niklas Svedberg (2012-13), Matt Murray (2014-15) and Logan Thompson (2020-21).

That's incredible. it’s good to know it’s something he’s used to, because it means his drive goes beyond. Winners tend to be able to play through that and not let it go to their heads.

How old would the goalies be. If they came from Europe and played some pro there, are they still rookies? Or play a year or so ECHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the previous winners Prusek was 26 years old and played, Svedberg played a few years pro in Sweden, Thompson played in the ECHL, Jon Casey played a full collegiate career so the rest were in the 20-21 yr old range. Jim Carey might have the more impressive feat as he won the AHL award, but was also runner up for the Calder trophy the same year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Heat play Bakersfield in the BOC. Just kidding. We have the better team by a long shot, so it will be an interesting series.

Beck is there, but is just practicing. He may not get into games. Likely Kerins would be heading to Stockton. We just have not had long playoff runs with the Heat in a long time. Usually their season is done before the CHL and would be part of the Black Aces. Guys like Poirier, Francis and Kuz will be at the Memorial, so no chance they get to come.

cross16 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I'd be suprised if the Flames didn't want Kerins in Stockton after the season. Whether or not he got into some games is the bigger questions. Heat are deep this year. Petterson had a pretty meh season but now leads the team in scoring so far. Deep in talent.

I would assume if anything at all 4th line center. Although the Soo's leading point getter, he's always the first in D roles. Hence why I think he's at 11 assists in 9 games now. Quite a few Soo guys ahead of him but due to O-zone starts probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
